Coda is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organizations or institutions; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither oppose nor endorse any cause. 

Our primary cause is to help children of divorce accept and understand their new life, and to be empowered to get their voice back.

 

We live by the slogan;
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference."

"I must not let them know my pain, their own pain is enough. So I will keep my words inside and make my outside tough." ~excerpt from a poem written by a child of divorce.

Dr. Velez and Dr. Cohen are Research Scientists at the New York State Psychiatric Institute.  They were published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry on Suicidal Behavior and Ideation in a Community Sample of Children and found that (Adult) children of divorce are almost twice as likely to attempt suicide than children from normal homes. 

These type of statistics go on and on.  The high school dropout rate of children of divorced parents is roughly two times higher than that of children of which the parents did not divorce. (McLanahan, Sandefur, -Growing Up With a Single Parent: What Hurts, What Helps- Harvard University Press)

Teenage children of divorce are three times more likely to need psychological help within a given year. (Peter Hill - Recent Advances in Selected Aspects of Adolescent Development- Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry)

These children did not have a choice but they need to have a voice.  We need to support a different statistic.  One that we can help control by educating both these children and their parents of how to handle an undetermined future.  How to support a child's wellbeing and emotional health by comprehending that each biological parent is part of these children and will be forever.  Part of their DNA, part of their personality and part of their self worth. 

These children are stuck in the middle so lets help them build the skills to not only survive, but to thrive.  We can help them adapt and we can help them feel whole again.  

Children of Divorce Anonymous will be a Non-Profit organization and will play a main role in promoting the "Understanding Your New Life Program".  This is a simple - step by step guide for these children that will teach them skills that will inhabit their minds for the rest of their lives.

The "Understanding Your New Life Program" was created by published Author Sherri Mills and will collaborate with the goal and topic of her new book "Children of Divorce ~ In Their Words".  It will run as an independent support group for children and teens as they forge through this journey.  The administration fees for the global disbursement alone is phenominal and those involved are counting on donations from GoFundMe to hit the ground running.

Please support these children and this program.  "Sometimes, it's about changing one life at a time!" ~ Author Sherri Mills
